Tenure Track Faculty Position

Metamaterials and Electromagnetic Media
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Pratt School of Engineering
Duke University

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke Unversity invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the junior level (Assistant Professor) in the broadly defined field of electrical and computer engineering, with an emphasis on electromagnetic metamaterials and related technologies.  

Metamaterials is a rapidly expanding research area within the discipline of electromagnetics.  As an established leader in this field, Duke University, seeks talented and dynamic applicants with a strong and unique vision for metamaterials.Interacting with Duke’s newly formed Center for Metamaterials and Integrated Plasmonics, the successful candidate will join a deeply collaborative team with considerable resources.

Applicants should have an earned Ph.D., evidence of the ability to pursue an independent program of research, a strong commitment to both graduate and undergraduate instruction, and the ability to initiate and conduct research across disciplines.  The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels and to build and lead a team of graduate students in Ph.D. research.

Applicants should also have demonstrated experience in the theory, design, simulation or fabrication of metamaterials, at any wavelength band, and should be prepared to outline potential metamaterial application areas that are complementary to ongoing interests in the Department.  Priority will be given to proposals that connect metamaterials with other electrical engineering or photonic technologies, such as terahertz devices, imaging, information processing, wireless, antenna design, optical switching, numerical modeling and theory, and similar.

Duke University is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty.  It welcomes applications from women and members of minority groups as well as others who would bring additional dimensions to the university’s research and teaching missions.

Applications should include a brief research and teaching plan, a detailed resume including a publication list, and the names and addresses of at least five references.  Send application materials by hard copy to Ms. Ellen Currin, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Hudson Hall, Room 130, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708-0291; or, by email to ecurrin@ee.duke.edu.  Reference the “Metamaterials Faculty Search” in the email subject line, or on the hardcopy materials.

Energy and Environment Initiative

1 Tenure Track Professor position, 2 Professor of the Practice Positions
The Pratt School of Engineering is launching a research and education initiative focused on energy and the environment. The school is immediately hiring three endowed faculty lines to support its Energy and Environment Initiative effort, and to augment existing faculty. The successful candidates for these positions will be appointed to one of our four engineering departments-- biomedical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, electrical and computer engineering, or mechanical engineering and materials science--depending upon research and teaching interests. Joint and secondary appointments within the Pratt School, and with other schools or departments at Duke are encouraged. The initiative will encompass both research and education, particularly at the undergraduate level—and will be highly interdisciplinary, bringing expertise from many disciplines to bear on energy and environmental problems.
